Save Ponyville! [Visual Novel]

[Wizard 981]

I'm working on a visual novel that takes place during G4. I've always wanted to make my own, especially after playing so many fantastic games in the past! I don't know how far I will take this, it may be a short game, or maybe I'll stay in high spirits and keep going. I have coded in 13 characters so far (player included) but not all have been implemented yet. There are 4 main characters with speaking roles: The Player, Princess Luna, Fluttershy and Rarity. Right now I am sitting on exactly 2,473 words. Which is honestly very little when it comes to visual novels. I'd generously put it down as 2 chapters.

I've been working on the coding mostly over the last few days, but I've started work on the art for it as well.

I plan on having at least each of the mane 6 written and designed. I will focus on one character at a time so I can make sure each of their paths are fun and engaging.

I will include a few screenshots of what I have so far, as well as the art I have for Princess Luna, who is the first pony you encounter in the game.

 

 

Spoiler

The game is heavily inspired by Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. You are a human who is contacted by Princess Luna in a dream, then awaken within the pony world, and must find out why you are there, and eventually, save it from an unknown threat.

I'm currently looking into coding RPG elements, such as performing tasks to increase your stats and having a sort of "relationship meter" for each pony, showing how close you are.

Here, some music I've made for the game as well:

"Main Menu"

 "Cupcake Jiggle"

 "Wiggle Wiggle"

 "Womp Womp"

 

I am not a musician. But I don't know anyone else who is, and I know how to use music software lol

I don't currently have a playable demo, but if all goes well, I should have one ready within a week. I need to lock myself in my room with a litre of coffee and just code code code!

I gotta use my gaming degree somehow, lol.

Aww thank you! Yeah I'm a mare of many talents lol, if only I stuck with one, I'm basically a jack-of-all-trades but master of none.

Aww thank you! I'd spent 2 days on Luna to make sure she looked good enough for the game lol
